So true. How quickly we forgot, and then how quickly we remember when something triggers our memory. I have come to appreciate the power of memory and shared experiences more and more as our son gets older and hope to always remember them.

I love when my clock says 11:11 or 5:55 or 1:23 or any other fun number combination. I didn’t know you could make a wish at a time like this. I seem to always look at my watch on these wonderful times.

I am reading Granted by John David Anderson. It is about a fairy and talks a lot at the beginning about things that grant wished, like eyelashes and dandelions. It is also about the loss of magic in the world. I love that you and your daughter still believe!
